Missing: Minnesota Wild First Line
The first period was a real yawner. The Wild did open the scoring, which was nice to see, but then the game turned into something that closely resembled the mess my new dog made on my floor. Bad hockey from both sides, sloppy, choppy, ugly, terrible hockey. If you come up with other words that mean "bad," feel free to fill in your own.
Here's a quick lesson for youth hockey players out there. If you don't cover the backside of the goalie, and NHL teams are given an open net to shoot at enough times, you will lose games. Many of them.
If anyone has seen the Wild's top line, please inform your local police department*, as they have been absent from the last three games. When we said they needed the secondary scoring to step up, we didn't mean that the primary scoring could then go to bed.
On to Phoenix.

Five Questions:
*Do not, under any circumstances, call your local police department about this.
